3rd Degree Burners Performance art/business The 3rd Degree Burners are a group of young men and women who enjoy the essence of fire used as a performance art.

There are many different methods, mediums, and styles that can be used for our visual interpretation. This form of art began many years ago by the indigenous Maori people from New Zealand.

Tonight we are grieving for the loss of our friend Sid Cullipher. He was a beautiful person with a giant's heart, who was undoubtedly nurturing to his wonderful family and the immeasurable amount of friends he made in the course of his time with us. Without Sid, it is unlikely that Transformus would have taken place in Deerfields, and without that, most of the 3rd Degree Burners would have never become involved with fire art in the first place.

Please keep his family in your thoughts, prayers, well wishes -- whatever way you express your empathy and hopes for healing.

We love you Sid and you will be greatly missed by many. Thank you for the memories and your unyielding kindness.
